Tre’Davious White: “I’m one of the best doing it”

Recommended Posts

Tre just shows McD knows his defensive backs. He was one of the best value picks in recent memory. The fact that we traded back, used the extra first we got for the trade to get our franchise quarterback, and still ended up getting a premier player is nothing short of remarkable. He's a special player both on and off the field. We're lucky to have him and I'm sure I'm not alone in hoping he will be a career Bill.

I think he is in the 7 to 12 range and is a good CB. If he wants to break the bank and demands a 100 million contract I don't think he is worth it. CB like White who are not top 5 but still want to be paid like one are tuff to sign.

He is definitely top 5. Are you one of those guys who said Gilmore sucked?

White is a stud as we all know but Taron is going to be special as well in that nickel role. Kid was balling as a rookie on a bum shoulder . This secondary as a whole is as good as it gets in this league. It's going to be difficult to keep Hyde,Poyer and White beyond 2020

Sadly, this is very true. The Bills can only invest so much money in the secondary.

Tre is one of the best players on the team and great value where he was picked. He is also going to cost big money. There is a world where the Bills re-sign Gilmore (1st team all pro) and draft White. There is also a world where the Bills re-sign Gilmore, keep the 10 pick and draft Mahomes or Watson. Then, instead of trading up for ZAy, they stay put and draft JuJu or Cooper Kupp. But I will be murdered for criticizing the process.

Dear Josh Allen, please be really, really good because this will be hard to get past.

Tre's right. He took some heat here after 2 straight games where he allowed a deep completion on plays where he absolutely smothered the receiver and the ball hit the only spot the WR could make a fantastic catch.

He did his job. Made those completions as hard as it could be. Other than improving on PBUs and finding the ball more often and looking for picks the other facets of his game.. Namely sticking to his man like glue.. are straight up there with any of the top CBs in the league. He's tier 1, and I honestly see no undisputed #1 corner in the league like Revis had established so he's tied for best in the league with about 5 other guys for me.

Keep on keeping on Tre, brutha. He's a quiet dude. Seems out of character. That's why I like the comment all the more haha. That's digging deep and coming up with his most honest opinion of himself. Straight telling the truth.

Haha this doesn't happen often cause we usually have to consider a longer period to draw up dramatically better what-if Bills teams. But a handful of decisions in just 2 years and we'd be partying hard in this board 24/7.

I really really wanted to somehow keep Gilmore but golly the size of the contract the Patriots offered definitely gave me pause.

They basically did to us what we did to Miami for Charles Clay. And Charles Clay is a fine fellow but that's all I have to say about him. Gilmore went to the next level. Something in that defense insured against his brain farts (allowing blown coverage 60 yard BOMBS) so he was mistake free version Gilmore... which if you had told me Gilmore would almost completely eliminate his blown coverages I'd have outbid Patriots by $5M and lock that down. Man is now a BALLER. Charles Clay on the other hand.. he played TE, he blocked, he ran routes, and he had bad knees. Good guy.
